Just a reminder: Barry Soetoro, who has been using the name “Barack Hussein Obama,” is an illegal alien. He has no birth certificate from any U.S. state. He has produced only a crudely-photoshopped pdf image of a “birth certificate” bearing the typefaces of six different typewriters.
Not according to the Republican Governor of Hawaii when he first started running.
“You know, during the campaign of 2008, I was actually in the mainland campaigning for Sen. McCain. This issue kept coming up so much in the campaign, and again I think it’s one of those issues that is simply a distraction from the more critical issues that are facing the country. And so I had my health director, who is a physician by background, go personally view the birth certificate in the birth records of the Department of Health, and we issued a news release at that time saying that the president was, in fact, born at Kapi’olani Hospital in Honolulu, Hawaii. And that’s just a fact. And yet people continue to call up and e-mail and want to make it an issue. And I think it’s, again, a horrible distraction for the country by those people who continue this. It’s been established. He was born here.”—Governor Linda Lingle, May 4, 2010
